Features

The Meditation Tracker is quite self explanatory in the sense that it keeps track of your Meditation stacks in a better way than showing them in the buff bar. Currently the features implemented are

  • A visual gauge, either in the style of Aetherflow or in the style of a "simplified" gauge (see above).
  • An Audio effect on reaching 3 stacks, it is the same effect as is used when other job gauges are filled (such as kenki). Please make sure you properly read the Setup guide as this option requires you to download and setup a sound file.
  • A Text-to-Speech call out when you gain stacks.

 These features can be disabled/modified individually so you can more or less get the setup you'd like.

Usage

 The way I've built my triggers requires them to manually be initialized, this is either done by swapping into the job the trigger is for (Samurai in this case) or by entering a command into chat. The commands for the Meditation Tracker are the following.

/e !gosam - Enables the visual elements.

/e !nosam - Disables the visual elements & Resets charges

Setup

  First off, if you are clueless on how to install triggers on Triggernometry, please reference this guide - Link (the XML link is on the top of this page.)

1 - Settings, Assuming you have the trigger installed into Triggernometry, the first thing you want to do is open up the Settings Trigger.
The settings are changed by opening up the actions and setting either 1, or 0 in the Expression fields. Settings

  • dmMiniGauge - Toggles between the Aetherflow looking gauge and the Mini Gauge. 0 = Aetherflow, 1 = Mini Gauge
  • dmTTSCounting - Toggles the Text-to-Speech counting of Meditation stacks. 0 = Off, 1 = On
  • dmGaugeNoise - Toggles the Gauge fill sound upon reaching 3 stacks. 0 = Off, 1 = On

2 - Moving things, I have tried to make moving things around as painless as possible.
 There are three elements you should move to suit your HUD Layout, and they are all inside the Setup Trigger. Things to move
You only have to move the two elements listed above, the rest will adjust accordingly to the position of those.

The process of moving these things is quite straightforward,

  1. Open up the action of the element you want to move
  2. Press the big "Use visual guide for placement" button
  3. Move the element and then
  4. Right click the element and Save changes.
  5. Save the Action and the Trigger
  6. Enter /e !gosam into the FFXIV chat or simply swap in/out of the Samurai job to apply your changes.
    A visual representation of the process can be seen here - Link

I STRONGLY advice that you do not touch the width/height of the gauges as the placement of the stack elements will likely dis-align

3 - Setting up the "Gauge Noise"
First of all, download this file and place it somewhere convenient on our PC.
